DXC CEO Mike Lawrie told analysts on its third fiscal quarter 2018 conference call that its cloud business grew 13 percent over last year, and that pilot digital business projects already have created several new $200 million-plus opportunities.

CDW, Cognizant, ePlus and CSRA, which together serve customers from small businesses to enterprises to huge government entities, reported strong revenue and earnings gains in the last quarter, and they expect growth to continue in 2018.

The acquisition, expected to close in a couple of months with a price tag of close to $500 million, gives Capgemini a new road to expanding its own digital transformation services capabilities in the North American market.

ConnectWise has always talked about its open ecosystem, but is now putting its money where its mouth is by asking its top competitors to join its premier MSP conference, and hoping for reciprocal invitations in return.
